From reading these interviews, I learned that most significant information is how much people wanted to work no matter how dangerous or horrible it was. One of the worst things that could happen would be dying while on the job. As for Chris Thorsten, he watched this happen all the time. In his interview he claims that "You ain't a Iron worker unless you get killed." This quote proves that he has seen multiple people die on the job. Mr. Garavelliclaims that it was the "Silica, that's what killed them." When you work at a stoneshed you inhale the silica and causes you to die slowly. He also says that, "You bet your life my kid don't go to work in no stoneshed." Mnay of the interviewers are pround of their job and have been doing it since they were little. Alice Caudle has been working in the same place since she was te years old. She would even rather work then do house work and would work at this mill for as long as her body and mind will let her. Although the Union wouldn't let Jim Cole be part of their Union because he was black, he continued to work and being the best of all beefcutters, working with a positive attidude. It shows how he didn't care what people thought and that he still wanted to continue working through that disappointment. This is how I knew the most significant information was how much wanted to work.
